Hello,
our goal in this site is to teach you, to show you, to help you.
And not to work instead of you.

THEREFORE, I will show you how to solve only one of these examples.
You will do the rest yourself.

a)

x - 2y = 7   (1)
y = -x + 1   (2)

Substitute y expressed via x from (2) to (1).

You will get

x - 2*(-x + 1) = 7.

Simplify it:

x + 2x - 2 = 7,

3x = 7 + 2,

3x = 9,

x =  = 3.

Now substitute the found value of x into (2). You will get

y = -3 + 1 = -2.

As the last step, check you solution.
For it, substitute x = 3 and y = -2 into the original equations.
Please do it yourself.
